PPP, a SBA loan that helps businesses keep their workforce employed during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.
The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan which has been specifically designed to provide a direct incentive for our small businesses. This program will help them to keep their workers on the payroll.
SBA is forgiving loans if staff is kept on payroll for eight weeks and the loan money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities.
Applying through any existing SBA 7(a) lender or through any federally insured depository institution, federally insured credit union, and Farm Credit System institution that is participating is how to get started. Other regulated lenders may be available to make these loans after approval and enrollment in the program. Please consult with your local lender as to whether or not it is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program.
Lenders were to scheduled to begin processing loan applications as soon as April 3, 2020. Although there was a slight delay, SBA is back on track and working hard to serve our small businesses. The Paycheck Protection Program will be available through June 30, 2020.
